Beautiful, enlightening, and included a “secret” - Steffie was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. She was easy to find, added outstanding information, answered our questions, was thoughtful about what we were interested in, and took time to ensure we got to spend time in a “secret” room. Well worth the time!

Palazzo Vecchio - Very good tour, our guide Annette was fabulous. She did a great job, highly recommend this tour. There are stairs inside palazzo vecchio, makes sure your okay with about 4 flights of stairs up and down.

Very poor service. - Very poor communication, it started to rain half an hour before the start. In the square, we could not find the guide; ten minutes before the start time, I sent a message and they did not respond. When I was able to communicate to talk on the phone, approximately three minutes had passed since the start time, and they told me that they could not do anything, that I should try to locate the guide with a flag. In summary, more than 120 dollars down the drain.

It cost us twice because the instructions and agent were unhelpful and we were standing/ waiting in the wrong locatio - €99 wasted. Tour didn’t happen. And no one wanted to help. It didn’t happen because the meeting point was given wrong and the phone number for help is published wrong. When we got through to an agent agent via txt sooooo unhelpful. Then cut us off. Had to buy another two tickets at a cost of €36. So disgusted at there cause no refunds!!!!
